Overall enrollment in the nations food stamp program has dipped to its lowest level in eight years, according to the latest statistics released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The latest USDA data reveals that enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)the federal government program that administers food stampsdropped to 40,083,954 in March 2018.
The last time enrollment in the food stamp program reached that level was February 2010, when 39,588,993 people participated in the nations food stamp program.
Although overall enrollment has reached its lowest point in eight years, food stamp enrollment has been declining steadily since 2013 and has only continued throughout President Trumps first year in office.
Under Trump, 2.2 million fewer people have discontinued their participation in SNAP, mainly due to the Trump administrations attempts to reform SNAP by controlling program costs at the federal and state levels.

And it reached it’s highest during the 0 years. Funny how you take away the ability to buy beer and cigs with your EBT and suddenly work doesn’t seem so bad.

But is Lobster Boy, the San Diego stoner surfer, still receiving taxpayer money? A followup story is needed.

This will be spun as Trump’s plan to starve minorities, even though it’s racist to suggest more minorities use food stamps. Only a liberal can grasp contradictory concepts comfortably.

Guess American peons as per Pelosi are eating the crumbs from their lower taxes. So they don’t need Food Stamps/EBT cards.
Trump’s fault again.

Actually the majority of recipients are white. The country is still 80% white, and there are plenty of white trash idiots out there. At least there are in this town.

Just backs up what we all see with our own eyes. The Obama economy was AWFUL. The Trump economy is booming.

Only a liberal can grasp contradictory concepts comfortably. That's because they have developed the "Cognitive Dissonance" lobe in their brain housing group.

With Blacks being 12% of the country, they are at a disproportionally higher percentage.

Indeed. Outside of New York City, the Los Angeles area, the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle, the US economy was failing under Obama. Now, Trump is turning the rest of the country around.

Undoubtedly, the Dems view this as a great national tragedy and as soon as the coup plotters get rid of Trump and Nancy Pelosi takes over the House, they will announce new maximum efforts to increase national dependency programs.
